Performance and Performativity in Contemporary Indian Fiction in English

ISBN: 9789004292598 出版年：2015 页码：301 Maria-Sabina Draga Alexandru Brill

Through a comparison with theatrical performance the argument develops that in both theatre and fiction the concepts of performance and performativity transform classical Indian mythic poetics. In the mythic symbiosis of performance and storytelling in Indian tradition, myth becomes a liberating space of consciousness, where rigid categories and boundaries are transcended.
